Error -"QT version is not properly installed, please run make install" on Windows XP

Nothing changed since #9. I get all of those again.

Look at the last attachment in post #9.

Currently your project is set up to use the version of Qt that is found in PATH and since your PATH doesn't contain Qt, you can't build the project. Either run Creator with PATH pointing to your Qt installation (you may use the Qt Command prompt to do it - launch it and then launch Creator from there) or switch the project build to use the version of Qt you have set up manually.

What do you mean by "since your PATH doesn't contain Qt, "?
Can you give me some direction?



Thank you

Look at the last attachment in #9 again, especially the part that says "not found". If you don't know what PATH is or how to manipulate it on your system, google for it.

I already did that.

The path you mention its suppose to be found by qt automatically as it says.

Im trying to solve ths issue from google for past month thats why i am here now.

Iam doing everything normally and as usual . I tried on other computer and work just fine .

So you are saying i need to add the PATH to the not found place manually?

No, Creator is looking in PATH for Qt, it doesn't look for path.

You don't add PATH to anything. If at all, you may add something to PATH. Please just google for Windows+setting+PATH or something similar if you want to know what I'm talking about. But it will really be easier if you switch your project to the Qt version you have set manually - open the "Projects" pane for your project and set the version of Qt to the proper one. If you use some very old version of the Qt SDK, you might need to change this setting elsewhere.

Hi
I had the same problem with QT v 4.7.0 on my machine.
Struggled for a couple of weeks but finally understood what was going wrong.

Go to tools>options>QT4>QT version
Place your cursor on the "path" in "MANUAL".

Do u see any invalid paths set for different variables (like for SRC, QT_INSTALL_LIBS, QT_INSTALL_DEMOS etc). Something like C:\QT\Trolltech............
If yes, then the problem is there`s a shell script which did not run during the installation process due to SOME reason.


SOLUTION:
Go to your QT directory (like mine is "C:\Qt\2010.05\qt"). There will be a file with the name "configure". This is the file I am talking about.
Go to QT command prompt and type "configure" and enter..This will take around 30 min.

After which it will ask you to configure "mingw32-make" in the QT command prompt only. JUst write "mingw32-make" and press enter. This will take around 15 min.

Restart your computer.
It should work now.

I would rather suggest to reinstall the Qt SDK. What is suggested here can easily fall apart as you are effectively rebuilding Qt only to get a qmake pointing to the right path (patching which should have been done by the installer).

And you surely don't have to restart your computer in either case
